Red Wine from Cote De Beaune

Wine Spectator, 93 points: Lean and taut, with cherry and spice flavors riding a beam of acidity. The tannins are gentle yet supportive. Finishes with a chalky feel. Shows fine purity and intensity, yet will require some time to reveal all its...

Burghound, 93 points: A cool and ultra-pure nose features notes of both red and dark cherry, earth, spice and plenty of earth character that is also reflected by the sleek and relatively refined middle weight flavors that evidence a firm...

Burghound, 93 points: The attractively fresh, cool and markedly restrained nose only grudgingly reveals its more deeply pitched nose of plum, dark currant, earth, forest floor and discreet game hints. There is a sleek muscularity to the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: (WA93-95 points) The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Clos des Ducs has a very complex and introverted, but captivating bouquet that draws you in, full of blackberry, briary, cold limestone and just a hint of baking powder in the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (90-92 points) The 2014 Auxey-Duresses 1er Cru comes from two blended parcels and sees around 20% new oak. It has more density than the village cru on the nose: blackberry and light stony scents, perhaps just a touch of...

Burghound, 93 points: A cool and ultra-pure nose features notes of both red and dark cherry, earth, spice and plenty of earth character that is also reflected by the sleek and relatively refined middle weight flavors that evidence a firm...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 90 points: (ST88-90 points) (Dugat made 7 barrels in 2014, vs. a normal 10 to 12, owing to hail losses): Medium red. Expressive aromas of redcurrant, tobacco and red licorice. Sweet and ripe in the middle, with red berry and brown...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: (93-95 points) Deep ruby-red. Very dark aromas and flavors of medicinal black cherry, crushed rock and licorice pastille. Wonderfully rich and deep, combining a fine-grained texture with superb inner-palate energy. For...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (WA90-92 points) The 2014 Pommard 1er Cru les Grands Epenots has a rather extravagant bouquet, especially for a Pommard, with showy red cherries, raspberry coulis and orange sorbet scents that are nicely defined. This is...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: (WA90-92 points) The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Santenots has a fragrant nose of blackcurrant pastilles and crushed violet -- all very tightly wound at the moment. The palate is compact on the entry but well defined with...

Burghound, 91 points: (BH89-91 points) An emphatically earthy, fresh and ripe nose speaks of cassis and subtle floral nuances. There is both good volume and punch to the delicious and solidly concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru Fremiets has a glorious nose that has mustered a little more va-va-voom since I tasted it from barrel last year. It lets rip with Morello cherries, fresh strawberry and a pastille-like purity. It...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: The 2014 Volnay 1er Cru has developed nicely since bottling: red cherries, raspberry preserve and a hint of bergamot gently unfurling on the nose, a patina of black fruit that I did not detect in barrel. The palate is...
